Comment (by leavengood):

 The guideline image is actually a bit unrealistic, at least as far as
 perspective is concerned. The back should recede slightly. The
 App_GLDirectMode2 icon seems more correct. To "prove this" I tried taking
 some photos of a Rubik's Cube (an original one from the 80s I got as a kid
 if anyone cares) with the right perspective and shadow. I did not quite
 get it right, but nonetheless the following attached image should show
 that the back line on the top should not be quite so "perfect" as the
 guidelines image.

 Of course the guidelines is meant to be that, a guideline, and not
 necessarily a perfect representation of the icon perspective. But using
 the App_GLDirectMode2 icon as a model might be a better guideline to the
 right isometric perspective.
